Hi Hi! Good afternoon! Welcome to Euro 2020 … to be played in 2021. Things of the pandemic. Matchday 2. Group D. Hampden Park. Glasgow. Scotland. While the Scots watch Wembley and their ‘derby’ against England, at home Croatia and Czech Republic they play a game with a lot of things at stake.
The victory on the first day of the Czech Republic over the ‘Tartan Army’ with the double of Patrik schick (0-2) and the defeat of Croatia (1-0) against England leave the world runners-up in a difficult position. If Dalic’s men lose, they will run out of options to finish in the top two. They would be on the verge of elimination … although they would still choose in the last day to be one of the best third parties.
The triumph of those of Silhavy it would propel them to the round of 16 that they have not stepped on since Euro 2012. Then they had Rosicky, Cech … already a Baros which Schick wants to match. His double brings him closer to the five goals that the former Liverpool attacker achieved in Euro 2004 in which he was a top scorer and the Czech Republic reached the semifinals. The Leverkusen striker has already scored the same goals as his country in all three games in the last final round.
The Czech Republic was solid against Scotland and Croatia barely had a ‘punch’ against England. Modric and Kovacic appeared little. They need them to have options to get into the second round. The Real Madrid media already warned that “they could not win all the games in all the tournaments” but for Croatia to be out of the Eurocup in the group stage would be a hard blow.
Everything is ready in Hampden Park for the game between Croatia and Czech Republic. The two teams want to be the alternative to England in group D. Football starts!
